The city council referred Gealon’s proposed resolution to the council’s Committee on Laws, Ordinances, and Styling during its regular session on Wednesday, April 19, 2023.
Gealon said these postnatal supplements would refer to any supplements taken by a woman after giving birth while she is breastfeeding her child “which is intended to help in her postpartum recovery, and to provide her with adequate and proper nutrients to support her baby’s growth, brain and nerve development and bone health.
“This problem has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic that adversely affected the livelihood and movement of the country’s citizen. Thus, there is a need to provide free postnatal vitamins to breastfeeding mothers residing in Cebu City to ensure their and their babies’ nutritional needs are met,” Gealon said.INQUIRER.net wants to hear from you!
